Nixon Calls For Truce in Business Border War

Is there finally an end in sight to the long-running business border battle between Missouri and Kansas?

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon calls this week for a moratorium on incentives to lure businesses across the state line in the Kansas City metro. He says the two states should work together to promote the region as a whole. In a speech to the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, Nixon said both states have spent too much money luring companies across the state line with no real job growth.
